Telangana Leaders Trade Blows Ahead of Jubilee Hills Poll
With just days left for the Jubilee Hills Assembly by-election, political temperatures in Telangana have surged. The campaign trail has turned combative, with sharp exchanges between top leaders from BJP, Congress, and BRS.
Union Minister Kishan Reddy, addressing rallies in Miyapur and Erragadda, launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. He accused the Congress-led state government of misgovernance and divisive politics. Reddy questioned the selective rhetoric around religious respect, stating that Congress only speaks about Muslims and ignores Hindus and Christians.
Revanth Reddy, in response, labeled Kishan Reddy and K.T. Rama Rao as “bad brothers” obstructing Hyderabad’s growth. He cited stalled infrastructure projects like Metro Rail expansion and Musi River rejuvenation as examples of BJP-BRS negligence.
KTR, the BRS working president, fired back, calling Revanth’s remarks “irresponsible” and “divisive.” He emphasized that BRS remains committed to development and accused Congress of spreading false propaganda.
The Jubilee Hills constituency, known for its urban voter base, has become a battleground of ideologies. With polling scheduled for November 11 and counting on November 14, parties are deploying ground teams to mobilize voters.
Reports suggest that voter inducements, including monetary benefits, are being considered by campaign managers. This has raised concerns among watchdog groups about electoral ethics.
The Election Commission has issued fresh guidelines to ensure free and fair polling. Security arrangements have been intensified across polling stations.
Meanwhile, social media is abuzz with hashtags supporting various leaders. Youth voters, especially first-timers, are expected to play a decisive role.
Political analysts believe that the outcome of this bypoll could influence party strategies for the upcoming general elections.
The Congress party is banking on Revanth’s urban appeal and governance record. BJP is leveraging national leadership and Hindutva narratives. BRS is focusing on regional pride and welfare schemes.
Public debates and media coverage have intensified, with television channels hosting nightly panels dissecting every speech and move.
Local influencers and YouTube channels are amplifying campaign messages, making digital outreach a key factor.
The Jubilee Hills seat has historically seen close contests, and this year is no exception.
Ground reports indicate mixed sentiments among voters, with some favoring continuity and others demanding change.
The final days of campaigning are expected to witness roadshows, door-to-door canvassing, and high-voltage rallies.
Political observers are watching closely for last-minute alliances or surprise endorsements.
The role of women voters and senior citizens is also being highlighted in party manifestos.
As the countdown begins, Telangana’s political landscape is witnessing one of its most intense bypoll battles.
